JORGE BERGOGLIO visited the headquarters of the EU in Strasbourg, France this week. The European Parliament building is a sort of Cathedral for Bergoglio’s Cult of Man. He richly praised the statist project of the God-less EU. There was almost nothing Catholic in his message. It was the usual Marxist, humanist bilge with some scolding of European nations for not obliterating their borders and not solving the problem of inequality. In fact, he only mentioned the word “Catholic” once.

The Cult of Man, not God, must rule Europe:

The motto of the European Union is United in Diversity. Unity, however, does not mean uniformity of political, economic and cultural life, or ways of thinking. Indeed, all authentic unity draws from the rich diversities which make it up: in this sense it is like a family, which is all the more united when each of its members is free to be fully himself or herself. I consider Europe as a family of peoples who will sense the closeness of the institutions of the Union when these latter are able wisely to combine the desired ideal of unity with the diversity proper to each people, cherishing particular traditions, acknowledging its past history and its roots, liberated from so many manipulations and phobias. Affirming the centrality of the human person means, above all, allowing all to express freely their individuality and their creativity, both as individuals and as peoples. [emphasis added]

Liberated from “manipulations and phobias?”

Not surprisingly, the Man Who Would be Pope (if only he professed the Catholic faith) did not visit the Strasbourg Cathedral with its sublime message for Europe. The Cathedral was completed in 1439 and now is a temple of the Protestantized happy talk known as Novus Ordo worship, not a bastion of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, which was a Revelation from God and without which European civilization would never have become European civilization.

That the European Union Headquarters appearance echoes the Roman Colosseum seems appropriate: Europe’s rulers are feeding it’s indigenous population to the lions.

As I have observed before, Pope Francis often uses dim doublespeak (1984).  This speech reminds me of the 1960s meandering comedian Professor Irwin Corey, whom I was shocked to discover is still alive at 100.  One can find clips on YouTube.  The joke was he often wore a white professor’s coat as he spoke at length with what seemed like erudition as you sat on the edge of your seat waiting for the point, which never came.  It was funny stuff because he was erudite.  Here is a short clip.  Usually he spoke for at least five minutes.
